I usually look for deals online.
Mine are 11 1/2 EEE. Those of us with snow-shoe feet might be well advised to avoid mail order but I've had success with Vittoria Ace and Diadora Aerospeed, both size 46. These run a little large and have a wider toe box, the Vittorias, more so than the Diadoras. This only applies to these models within the brands.

I also force pseudo lasts that I made from pine, which are the shape of my feet, into the shoes and leave them there for at least a week, before using them. This makes the break-in period very short.
